A new report by the World Bank, the South Sudan Natural Resource Review (NRR), reveals that South Sudan has immense natural resource potential in fisheries, forestry, and wildlife. The report underscores the need for sustainable exploitation of these resources to drive inclusive economic development and reduce dependence on oil revenues. It is the first comprehensive assessment of these renewable resource sectors since the country's independence in 2011, offering a roadmap for sustainable growth and resilience.
